When people try to leave....”Late in the game as this”...they prevent emergency vehicles from getting where they need to go. People should have left before this.
I know it's a tough job but if people can't understand what you're saying what's the point?
Interesting...thanks for explaining this.
I know they should have left but my heart goes out to them.
Have a good and blessed night.
Typical of the left.
The tornado was the most violent WEST of OKC...El Reno/Union City got rocked when it hit cars on I40. That is where most deaths will be...
Fatalities reported in cars in Union City area
The tornado has been rain wrapped and cloud ceiling very low to the ground...preventing them from seeing the actual tornado.
Shep: “The gyros”(sp) meant to say SF Giants ..
Shep was pretty calm, IMO. He kept that weather guy from flipping out and told him to slow down.
Shep has been doing a real good job tonight. He is keeping Jeff calm so he can be understood. I appreciate his reporting tonight. Just the video alone of the tornado approaching OKC were terrifying.
As it gets dark, it got less visable, but a little after 8PM EDT, was still was able to see it online the outline of it.

Cars were flipped. Some people missing. Many injured.
Three warnings east of St louis and one on the north edge of Joplin
That would be Gary England...probably will be known as the father of tornado forecasting
Multiple fatalities west of St.Louis in a Holiday Inn.
Not surprising...don’t they say to ‘shelter in place’ because you’re worse off in a car on a blocked highway?
Also hear chasers saying all the time shelter in a building rather than a car.
I have family in El Reno. He is a policeman......
